A little video made last week at the pottery.
"Alguidar" is a large container that have many uses in the home specially in the kitchen. Before plastic was widely available potters used to make large quantities of these in several sizes ranging from size 1 (similar to a medium bowl) to size 8, a very large container that was often used to knead bread dough or to be used as a sort of kitchen sink. Notice at the end of the video Mr. Domingos, the potter uses a type of ruler with indentations to measure the right size of the container ... in this case size no.6. Warning: Only for those who appreciate contemplation and slow pace of life ;) ●
